Vice President Dick Cheney got carded. Not for drinking but for voting.
Vice President Dick Cheney got carded. Not for drinking but for voting.

It happened at the Teton County clerk's office Thursday in Wyoming, when the vice president, accompanied by his wife and a Secret Service detail, dropped in unexpectedly to cast an absentee ballot in next Tuesday's primary election.

An election worker, Mike Farady, asked the vice president for his driver's license.

"The reason is we are supposed to confirm identity with a photo ID and it also helps confirm residency and that was the easiest way to do it," Farady told the Jackson Hole News & Guide. "I know he is the vice president and I know he can vote, but I wanted to make sure he can vote here and now."

1. Aw. Isn't that special.
Watch FOX News and the other shills use this as an example of why we should all be willing to show ID in order to vote.

cheney failed to register to vote; his attempt at voting caused the election board to have him arrested. cheney was handcuffed and hauled away as he threatened to shoot every member of election board in the face

3. Michigan requires picture ID to vote.
Address on the ID has to match the address on the voter registration. Everybody shows ID, even in the podunk town I live in.

Cheney looks absolutely dreadful in the picture. Maybe his deeds are finally catching up with him.

4. If his picture don't match up with his photo id then maybe they should require fingerprint ID
